Decided to design a new boat based on ideas I had that incorporated in some of the past designs but also took a slightly different tack.

What has evolved is a design that I think will be something that will suit all conditions but also at its peak in A rig, which in most areas is the rig used most of the time.

Slightly fuller in the bow with rounded sections and the stern is also a bit wider.

It's initiation was in the CCOR regatta in China last month. Soeren Andresen (Den), and myself attended along with Zyvonko Jelicich , Graham Bantock and skippers from Thailand, Malaysia, and Singapore, as well as the local contingent. Unfortunately the Japanese skippers plans got skuppered by a typhoon, so they could not attend.

With our two boat in parts when I arrived, and working into the night we got Soeren's A and B rig finished and my A rig.

Both boats launched for the first race and they performed well and showed promise. This was later displayed when on the last day Soeren was the leading points scorer. He showed improvement each day. Final result was Soeren in 3rd place and myself in 7th.

The two boats were sold to local skippers after the event and should be the forerunners of a fleet of Panda's in China.

Orders are now being taken for the Panda.

Soren Andresen finishes in 10th place in a very hot fleet in the just completed 2018 European Championships. A very good result and one that placed his Mirage Radio Yachts designed Nitro in the top 4 designs at the Championship.

One of the factors contributing to his achievement was the use of a new set of A rig sails by Mirage made with a new shaping.

His speed and pointing ability were second to none. They were commented on favourably by other skippers at the event.

This new cut of sails is now available from Mirage Radio Yachts.

Nitro’s finished 1st and 3rd in the Nordic Championships held on the weekend of 28th-29th October. Soren Andresen won the event and Odd Ornulf Stray finished 3rd. Another great result for Mirage Radio Yachts!.

Nitro’s took 1st and 4th in the just completed Norwegian Championships. Soren Andresen was 1st on 31 points and the second boat was on 62 points.Odd Stray was a close 4th with his Nitro.

Plans are now available for the Corbie 5.

A "woodie" IOM for those who like to do their own thing.

A set of full size stations printed on two sheets of A4 paper are included in the kit along with a very extensive manual which includes building instructions and tips, a tuning section, and maintenance hints.

Also includes a list of suppliers.

This manual was as a result of the work of Ian Dundas in the UK who has been a great help in this project.

The cost of the kit is $115.00AUD.

Laser cut stations can be purchased from a company called SLEC in the UKat an additional cost. This does save a lot of work and is more precise when setting up the building platform.
